Small Plates Bar items, Happy Hour and Entertainment
Introducing
Italian style " Tapas" at our bar. They're called Stuzzichini in
Italy. Starting on Friday
during our Happy Hour and Live Jazz night. It will be a wonderful
assortment of foods you've come to love here, and some great additions as
well. Topped off with Happy Hour priced drinks, music and great company.
See the menu at www.casadante.com

Come casual
and be comfortable. Enjoy and see you at Casa Dante!
See our Menu and Additions at www.casadante.com/menu
What
are "Stuzzichini" or "Tapas"
Small
plates generally served in an informal fashion in a cocktail party or lounge
setting. We are introducing this concept in our bar and lounge area for those
of you expressing a desire to "have a little something" with your
cocktail or wine. Again, these are meant to give more than a taste of a
favorite item and still try another item without overindulging.
I'm a
fan of picking on many different foods when I eat so this is right up my alley.
A Sicilian meatball, sausage bruschetta, a few pieces of Calamari and a glass
of red wine. Sounds delicious? Well, come in on Friday afternoon Happy Hour as
we introduce this concept and it will remail on our bar menu daily.
See you
then and enjoy!

My Two Cents
Over the years
restaurant owners and operators have jumped at trends, fads and whatever it is
that the public demands. But I have never seen such a keen interest in what the
public forums are extolling in the way of remarks, reviews and, sometimes, just
plain trash.
But we take these
seriously, whether they are meant to be or not.
The first thing I
do every morning ( well, second thing I do) is check out new
reviews on Yelp; or Open Table; or Citysearch; and on and on. I need to make
sure that we, as well as our customers, are well represented and treated
fairly. This may not always be the case. In the early days of "online
criticism" we were subjected to obvious "agenda" driven
reports. " I
hate Joe's Deli, but you need to try "Frank's Place"....signed Frank! Well, that probably still goes on, but alot of the
filtering process removes these types of abuses.
The abuses that are more
difficult to track, however, are the reviews meant to garner a
prize for the writer. These are touchy, difficult and very costly
reviews. "I didn't want to complain when I was there, but the steak was
not cooked to my liking!", " the waiter served me the wrong wine, but
I drank it anyway", " I had a wonderful night but it was marred
by the valet who too long to get my car". Right or wrong, these may
keep other customers away, and thats where the terrible "cost" is
factored in. Loss of income due to an overzealous critic. Help!
Obviously, we in the
business can stumble at any point during a meal...even getting the patrons back
to their cars. We absorb responsibility for all of that....and yet, its all in
a days work. For the most part, we take it in stride and the customer is
always right. And we love every minute of it.
Regards, and see you
soon!

Nutrition & Casa

You know that we were
serving Arugula here at Casa Dante when most people were still eating ice-berg
lettuce and French dressing.
Arugula has been shown
to have many healthy properties beyond its great taste and texture. We offer it
here with fennel, shaved parmigiano cheese and a light lemony dessing. Here are
some of the benefits:
Arugula is a low
calorie, nutrient rich vegetable from the Brassicaceae family that includes mustard greens, radishes, cauliflower and
kale. Sometimes called "garden rocket," a term derived from its
scientific name Eruca sativa, arugula is a
great alternative to iceberg lettuce because it offers a much greater density
of nutrients with the same low calories.
Here are 10
health benefits of arugula:
Cancer
Prevention
Arugula is a cruciferous vegetable. Cruciferous vegetables are associated with reduced risk of cancer in many studies. Arugula is rich with valuable antioxidants, considered essential in preventing free radical activity in the body. Studies show that vitamin A and flavonoid compounds in arugula may help protect the body from skin cancer, lung cancer and oral cancer. Arugula is also a rich source of phytochemicals like sulforaphane, which has excellent chemoprotective effects and helps to fight carcinogens.

Arugula is dense with the natural antioxidants vitamin C, vitamin K and vitamin A. In addition to fighting free radical activity, these vitamins offer great immune system support.

Eye Health
Arugula is a good source of carotenoids, fat-soluable pigments that are known to help prevent macular degeneration. The vitamin C in arugula may help in the prevention of cataracts.

Low in
Oxalate
Oxalates inhibit mineral absorption in the body. Other healthy leafy greens, such as spinach, have high levels of oxalate. However, arugula appears to offer relatively low levels of oxalate, making it a healthier alternative for people seeking foods high in calcium and other essential minerals.

Bone Health
Low levels of oxalates combined with a great variety of vitamins and minerals found in arugula make it great for bone health. One study of Vitamin K found that daily consumption of the vitamin led to decreased risk of bone fractures. Calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese and vitamin C are all considered good contributors to positive bone health.

Weight Loss
Though arugula has no proven ability to help aid in weight loss in and of itself, it remains a low calorie, nutrient rich food, and thus a great addition to any healthy diet.

Nutrition & Casa

Healthy options on any menu make restaurants more valuable to
customers. We're all watching our waistlines, or blood pressure, or sugar
levels....you know what I mean. Getting to a point in my life where the little
changes make a big difference. Yes, I love the fried Calamari, or the
Mozzarella in Carrozza. But, as we're all told, too much of these foods are
just not good for you. They clog your arteries, increase the "bad
cholesterol" levels and generally make you feel like sluggish, tired and,
yes, old!
·
My grandfathers used to say "everything in moderation"
and he was right. Have the Arugula salad, Grilled vegetables, the lean cut of
organic meat and order the Calamari for the "table". You can still
have your healthy meal here....and Calamari too! Enjoy and talk soon

Nutrition & Casa
Dante
You may have noticed we've made some significant additions to our
menu. Many more healthy choices have been added. We will be including more
"vegetarian" items and more nutritionally balanced and
beneficial offerings.
If you dont know; we serve fresh fish, more organically and
locally grown produce ( when seasonal ), healthier cuts of meats and plenty of
fresh fruit.
As someone in my generation once said, " you are what you
eat" and this couldn't be truer today. Connections with processed foods
and illness has been established and, as such, a restaurant like ours avoids
any of those foods and products.
If you've been concerned about eating out for healths sake, then
rest easy. We're looking out for you, and ourselves...we eat here too!
